A Bit about Me

I am a Pluralistic Counsellor which means I believe you are the expert in your life. I use a range of therapies in order to find the most suitable therapeutic methods for you to help you to identify, and work towards realising your goals in life.

In addition to the above I have undertaken further training in suicide awareness, LGBT Awareness, Diversity Awareness, Counselling Supervision Certificate, Working with clients with Dissociative Identity Disorders (DID), Dissociation in Children and Adolescents, Running Mindfulness Groups, Working with Young People in the LGBT Community. I am committed to undergoing continuing professional development.

I have over 20 years experience in various Social Care and Advocacy roles in the Public Sector and Third Sector. Prior to setting up my own private counselling Practice I have worked in various third sector roles as a counsellor with clients who had suffered trauma in their lives through institutional abuse, rape, sexual assault. I have a special interest in working with the effects of trauma and PTSD.
